As MJ flees to Mexico, accompanied by her driver/saviour companion Nelson, they follow a well-travelled route (see map) in their trusty white 1999 Sunbird. In Memphis, the home of Elvis Presley, they stop at Sun Records, the studio where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and other Rock ‘n Roll greats once recorded their classics. They devour ribs at a finger-lickin’, rib-stickin’ barbeque house. And pulled pork at B.B. King’s along famous Beale Street. Nelson ordered bourbon on the rocks, just because it seemed right to drink bourbon in a blues bar on Beale. Despite the apparent gaiety of their travels, MJ was ever vigilant. She just couldn’t put Tommy's revengeful wrath out of her mind for long.Route of 1st leg of journey. Route to Brownsville TX.

This captivating book, Tjideng Reunion by Boudewijn van Oort, is a must read for all those who value freedom...a true story about the author's traumatic experiences as a child in a POW camp in Java during World War II. This odyssey is much more than his internment...it is a strong voice celebrating the human spirit. You can read my book review on Amazon.
